Using a fake curriculum vitae, Tim is able to get a job as a security agent for Brussels Airport. “I’ve worked in the restricted areas for three months because no one checked the references I made up,” he reveals. “I know all the security weaknesses.” Within a few weeks, he smuggles a camera in a wired metal box into the secured staff area. The box looks like a bomb and he has no legitimate reason for carrying it. But although he passes through a metal detector six times, “no one asks me about the strange item in my bag.” Other employees confirm how lax the security is. “Some people say that they’d done checks they hadn’t done,” complains one former security guard. But how easy would it be to smuggle an actual bomb on board? “I’m carrying plasticine, a cellular phone, wires and a camera,” states Tim. “But for the sixth time, no one checks what’s in my bag.” Safely in the restricted area, he places the ‘bomb’ in a sealed tray of airline meals bound for New York. Had he not removed it later, it would only have been discovered during the flight. Airport security may prevent passengers committing an attack but what happens if the enemy is already on the inside?
